Temperature, chlorophyll, and salinity data used for the analysis of urchin gut microbiota, Echinometra sp. EZ. Sea surface temperature data were obtained from NOAA. Chlorophyll concentrations were obtained from NASA MODIS AQUA. Salinity data were obtained from a numeric ocean model: the 1/12 Global Hybrid Coordinate Ocean Model.
The summer-winter spatial series involved six sites along the Arabian Peninsula. We used NOAA’s Environmental Research Division Data Access Program (ERDDAP) website to collect sea surface temperature data. The temperature data was downloaded using a bounding box that covered the study area on the day of collection at 12:00:00 UTC (temperature was averaged over one day).
Chlorophyll concentrations were obtained from MODIS AQUA (https://oceancolor.gsfc.nasa.gov) level 3 monthly averaged data, and salinity data were obtained from a numeric ocean model: the 1/12 Global Hybrid Coordinate Ocean Model (HYCOM; https://www.hycom.org/data/glbu0pt08/expt-91pt2) at 12:00:00 UTC on the day of collections.
